Left IBM, now diving into Data Analytics!
Hey folks, I resigned/was laid off from IBM two months ago because of project issues. Before that, I actually asked to leave my project because of a toxic environment and boring work (no growth). Now, I'm transitioning to a Data Analyst role from being an SCM Consultant (10 LPA). I'm currently learning SQL, Excel, Power BI, and Python. Any advice on additional courses, tips for cracking interviews, job referrals, or salary expectations would be greatly appreciated!
